Before I paint my original Shredder, we are sure that the 25th Shredder has pants, right?

yes. I confirmed it with their head of Customer service, and then again with their brand manager at NYCC.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but some of the paints are kind of sloppy. I wanted to get April but the Targets and Wal-Marts I went to, her eyes were painted either higher or lower. Then there was some cross eyed as well as some that had only eye. Also her stripes were a little off as well. Has anyone had the same problem?

I got a note that the figures are at the post office, but I can't pick'em up until tomorrow

GAH!

April is the only one I've seen that has this problem, I've only seen on april so far with a decent paint job.

Any reason why he was pictured sans trousers to begin with?

Wait, these have been spotted at Wal-Mart? I thought Wal-Mart wasn't carrying them?

I haven't seen these things at a single Wal-Mart from PA-Ohio.
Toys R Us & Target are the only places I've seen selling these things.
Wal-Marts toy section is getting smaller and smaller anyway, I won't even bother looking for figures there soon.

Oops, you are right. The sinus medicine I'm on must have wrote that. I guess I meant to say Toys R Us. Sorry about that.

Didn't you confirm Wal*Mart is out of the picture completely? Like 60 times by now?

Please excuse my telling and old tale to a new member.

What is the value of a ninja turtle with a factory error? I recently bought a ninja turtle raphael figure with a donatello belt. I am considering returning it because I want the CORRECT complete 25th anniversary set, but I was wondering on value and scarcity. Item is still boxed.

Tuxedo Moroboshi · 03-18-2009, 02:59 AM

I'm hardly an expert at this sort of thing, but there's a small chance that could be a collectible, provided that you never open it. But, again, I'm only assuming and don't know for certain.

Reminds me of the Star Wars Collecting Letters Page. 'I would never sell my figure, BUT...I'm interested in the value

'

As they replied on that magazine page, errors like mis painted heads, or two right hands and such are pretty much worthless. They are only worth novelty value at least.

*Ninjinister* · 03-18-2009, 08:15 AM

Packing errors are seldom worth anything more than the standard figure, no matter how much some 'tards on eBay want to convince you otherwise.

airswish99 · 03-18-2009, 09:33 AM

thanks for the responses. i'll just hold onto it until i find another one to replace it; it just looks so weird next to the others.

Archon_Turtle · 03-18-2009, 01:06 PM

I collect factory errors just cause they're neat, but seldom end up paying much more than retail. As far as what you can get on ebay or something for it...it sounds like a pretty minor error, so probably not much. People tend to pay a little more for MAJOR errors...like the mikey in this picture (he is mounted upside down on his card):

thanks again for a response. i was just curious. that is a pretty major error. wow! i've never actually seen anything like it in person, and it is pretty interesting to see as well as own a sealed turtle with another's belt.
